Smith, who has been arrested for violating the terms of a protective order arising from a domestic violence arrest and who had a bench warrant issued for his arrest after failing to appear at hearing in court, was jailed this time around with bail of $500,000. Public records indicate that he currently remains incarcerated, in advance of an April 11 court hearing.

The list of pending charges against Smith now includes three separate counts of contempt of court.

Smith last played in the NFL in 2015, before the league implemented a permanent banishment with the ability to apply for reinstatement after a year. It’s a dramatic fall for a player who had 42 sacks in his first 43 regular-season games.

This is what happens when you’re a big football star and are enabled your entire life. Chances are the people around him are saying he’s just misunderstood and other enabling things. This guy won’t get it until he finds himself behind bars for life. Then he’ll want people to feel sorry for him.

Tylawpick6 you don’t even know what an assault weapon is.

I agree, he should’ve just said guns. They’re all easy to get. But he does have a point…especially here in the Bible belt where guns and god go together like pb&j…yet adult book stores are banned inside city limits.

why is someone this unstable allowed to even
be out of jail right now? he is a clear threat and with suxh lax gun laws with assault weapons easier to buy than adult toys (in some states), lock him up.

Why do Liberals believe that tougher gun laws will prevent shootings? How do you explain Chicago….strongest gun laws in the country….most daily shootings in the country…

We all know Smith is unbalanced, right? But it wasn’t too long ago that a lot of us were on here dogging Roger Goodell for not immediately reinstating him into the league. That’s one where we need to have a serious look in the mirror and get a hold of our blind hate. It’s unhealthy, and leads to unbalanced thinking on our part.

There is so much wrong with this statement. And as of right now it received 58 likes? In what used to be America, everyone should receive due process. What was his monitor violation? Maybe you are right and it was very bad, but you don’t know. But, you would feel safer if he or anyone else didn’t have the ability to buy guns. So, he should be locked up. These are foolish and non American ideals. Good for the other 58, too!
So, you know as much as me and you want him locked up? First of all

tylawspick6 was correct to say assault weapons and not guns.

Military assault weapons are the problem.

The gun toting NRA snowflake cowards can’t even keep their own argument straight.

Military assault weapons have no purpose other than to kill in high numbers.

I thought the purpose of owning a gun was for defense, not assault or offensive purposes.

NRA snowflakes don’t know which way is up.

I have a semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun. You know, Joe Biden’s favorite weapon for self defense. A quick search online shows me several stock options, including pistol grips. Does that fit the description of an assault weapon also?

Come on, the guy’s mentally ill and either not receiving or refusing the medical and psychiatric help he needs. Doesn’t help that there’s no NFL structure apparently in place to help him. Just a sad deal – you could see this downward spiral coming for a couple years.

This is a misleading NRA talking point. Chicago’s 2016 shooting rate was an outlier.
Gun laws DO make a difference. Other western style democracies have stricter gun laws than we Americans would put up with, and virtually no shootings.

You know where gun laws are tough in the US?
Massachusetts
You know where there are virtually no shootings?
Massachusetts
There is a very high correlation between the strength of state gun laws and the rates of shootings.

You have more gun crimes in cities with high African American populations. Massachusetts is only 6% African-American, Chicago is 32% African American, Detroit is 82.7% African American and is #1 in violent crime, Oakland is #2 in violent crime and is 28% African American and Flint, MI is #3 and is 56.6% African American. Sad but true….

You’ve missed the point. High violent crime areas are also high poverty areas and lack of opportunity areas. Unfortunately, based on the racist history of America, African Americans do not have the same opportunities as white Americans do and the system itself has a negative racial bias towards African Americans. If African Americans actually had equal opportunities to succeed, less would be desperate enough to resort to violent decisions.
